Overview

2nds. A lesson in how a sock should always feel and perform, SmartWool's PhD V2 Outdoor medium crew socks feature a 4-Degree Fit System to keep the sock in place and WOW technology to increase durability in high-wear areas.

Only worn them on one hike so far. I was worried they would be too hot or too thick for my hiking boots, which are a tad narrow. We hiked up a mountain in the summer (up to about 85-90 degrees outside). My feet felt great the whole time. Not hot, not sweaty, not too tight. Really pleased with them. ...

I have been purchasing Smartwool socks for several decades, on and of and have strictly returned to them. Not only is the comfort level good, but the fit is as well. Granted, directions say that you can dry them in the dryer, but I personally advise against that for both longevity, as well as correct fit. I have had some of these socks for five years, not necessarily the same brand of Smartwool sock, but I have learned through the years what the recipe will handle and what benefits it the best. I should also note that I wear these socks a LOT, and five years wear out of one pair is from upper echelon sock as well as proper care, so if you wish to retain them like I do, just do the same thing. Just dry them over the shower curtain bar.

I originally gave these a five star review, but have lower it because the brown do run small. I ordered both the dark charcoal and brown, and the charcoal were perfect but the brown were too small. I wear a 11 1/2 shoe and had ordered ex-large but they felt more like a large, or even a medium. I contacted STP and their excellent customer service sent me two replacements at no charge as I thought they were just marked wrong. However, when I got the replacements I found that they were just as small as the first pair. This is a great sock if it were the right size, but beware the brown must be mismarked and run small. If you wear a large or medium, the ex-large might fit you.
